SPECIFICATIONformng part of Letters Patent No. 760,906, dated May 24,1904.

Applicaticn led July 23, 1903. Serial No. 166,701. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR F. Morr, a citizen of the United States, andaresident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county ofKings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Oomb, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to improvements in combs designed particularlyfor drying`a persons hair after washing or shampooing, an

object being to provide a comb by means of which the hair may bequickly' dried without danger of burning or singeing. y

I will describe a comb embodying my invention and then point out thenovel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification,

in whichsimilar characters of reference indi' 3 on its opposite sideswith which the in wardly-turned portions of a sliding cover 4 engage. Onone end of the comb is a ferrule suitable non-conducting material, isattached.

The heating device consists of an iron or similar metal bar 7, havingteeth 8, designed to be seated in the hollow teeth l of the comb, and asa means for inserting or removing the heating device I provide it with aremovable handle 9. This handle 9 has a screw-threaded portion designedto engage in a tapped hole 10, formed in the bar 7.

In operation after heating the bar and its teeth 8 the same is Vto-beinsertedinto the comb, as indicated in Fig. 2, and the cover placedthereon, and obviously the heat from the heating device will heat theteeth 1 suficiently to dry the hair as the comb is passed through thesame.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. A comb having hollow teeth and a boxlike backportion, and a removable heater consisting of a bar also having teeth,said bar with its teeth being received into and entirely inclosed bysaid box-like back portion and the hollow teeth carried thereby.

2. A comb having hollow teeth, a handle for the comb', aremovable heatercomprisinga bar having teeth designed to be seatedin said hollowteeth, acover for holding the heater in the comb and a handle removablyconnected to said heater.

3. A comb having hollow teeth and a boxlike back, outwardly-extendingflanges on the opposite sides of said back, a sliding cover adapted tooverreach said iianges and engage the same to move longitudinallythereon, and

a heaterlhaving projections adapted to be seated in said hollow teeth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification-in thepresence of two subscribing Witnesses.

ARTHUR F. MOTT.
